Sion, Tate, and Lillie are buried at Clarks Grove Cemetery in Rockford, Tennessee. Paul is buried in Sevierville.

Paul was married to Josie Gibson. She is beside him in Sevierville. I have nothing on her.

My mother is Betty Gale Pogue. They were married the year of my birth.She and Ronald had 2 other children, Ronald Dale Hood and Sherry Renee Hood. Dale's dna has been tested and his profile is available.

Joe, have you found any Hoods descended from Inverness Scotland - one branch migrated to Australia, and we have a large number here.

Alan Hood

Hi, Alan,

Sorry to be so long in getting back to you. I didn't have your private e-mail. In answer to your query, we haven't traced any Hoods to Inverness, Scotland to my knowledge. However, the DNA of many of the branches of Hood has the most close matches to individuals from the British Isles and Scotland in particular. Many of us in the southern mountains of the U.S. trace a number of our lines to Scotland or the Scots-Irish. For example, in my bloodlines, I have McCray, McBrayer, and McCullough, among others.

Allen's parents are thought to be William Hood and Sarah ________ because a deed shows William and Sarah giving land to Allen. That doesn't satisfy me as proof. William might have been Allen's brother, cousin, or good friend.

A Couple of Notes:1. Our last name is no longer Hood because my grandfather legally changed his last name to his stepfather's.

2. Beginning with William (b. 1830), there is some conflicting information regarding the details of the family's emigration from Scotland. The genealogy done for us in the 1950s claims that William and Catherine were born, raised and married in Scotland before coming to N. America. However, much of their census data lists William's birthplace as Canada. However it does list his mother as "Ellen Clark" and the birth record I've found (from Quebec) lists "Hellen Clark" and "John Hood", additionally John is described as an engineer, as our John was supposed to have been, and the dates all line up.

3. Joan Gogar - early family histories had married Joan to a "John Hood", however familysearch.org has listed all the correct siblings to Joan and William Hood.

Hosford Henry Hood b. Iowa, 6 Apr 1881; Census 1900 Hosford is a servant/farm laborer in the Burch household, living in the same town (Atchison, Missouri) as Seborn Hood; m. Eugenia Juliette Lemoine.Most family trees do not list Hosford Henry as the child of Seborn and Martha because he was not listed in either the 1880 or 1900 census. Hosford was born one year after the 1880 census and he was working as a live in farm laborer in the Burch household in 1900 census in the same town as Seborn and Martha. However, in the 1900 census Martha is said to have had 8 children all living, Hosford is the eighth. Willie and Susan were children by Susan Nicholson, the subsequent 8 children were Martha Jane's.

Myself

I am sure of the lineage back to Seborn Hood. However, the information about his parents I got from family trees off of ancestry.com. I have not received responses to my inquiries as to how this information is known. Also, there are conflicting family trees on this particular John Hood, as there were several John Hoods in this era. I'm interested in knowing who this John Hood's (m. to Elizabeth Sexton) parents were. Does anyone know this information?
